DISLOYALTY HONORED,

There has been a good deal of ''pointing
with pride" by Democrats of late to the brill'
liant record made by Mr.. Turpie during his
brief term in the United States Senate some
twenty odd years ago. That was in the dark
days of the war, and Mr.. Turpie signalized
his few days of service in the Senate by
Enthusiastically malignant speech against the
CONSUMPTION bill, the prosecution Of the war,
and the government generally. At that time
Mr.. Turpie was known as a copperhead, and
the Indiana copperheads were not behind the
rest of the breed in bitterness Persons who
like to view the present in the light Of the
past may be interested in the extracts which
we print from speech he made which was as
full of venom as an egg is Of meat.
1t is remarkable that but little more than
twenty years after the close of the war for the
suppression of the Rebellion the State of In
diana, which sent go, 900 Union soldiers into
the field should be represented in the United
States Senate by one Democrat noted for his
oPPosAIAoH W tAo Wal PoiiCy VI lHdt udy,
while another, noted for nothing else, has the
credentials of his party and is knocking at the
door. They were representative Democrats
then and are STILL Both were among the
recognized leaders of the anti-war element of
their party-the element that opposed the
draft, discouraged enlistments, and in every
way that they could or dared gave moral aid
and comfort to the rebels. If Messrs Voor-
hees and Turpie did not engage in the move
ments, they were recognized leaders of the ele-
ment that did They had no political fellowship
with the war Democrats of that day; their affli-
ations were with the men who opposed thu war
Conspicuous among the Indiana war Democrats
was Joseph E. Mcdonald If some prophet
had told him that, twenty-odd years later,
Col. Isaac P. Gray, then in the army, would
be Democratic Governor. and would spring
the name Of David Turpie, the outspoken
copperhead of war times, to defeat him, Nc
Donald, for the Senate, he would probably
have requested the prophet to go where Green
Smith did the Supreme Court clerk. But the
supposed prediction has come true, and if Mr.
Turpie should be admitted to the Senate the
vindication of Indiana copperheadism will be

A TIME-HONOREp FALsEHOOD.

Speaker Carlisle was entertained by the
Bay State Club, of Boston, on Saturday. OF
course he made speech. Among other
approved Democratic platitudes he said:
From the formation of your Constitution
down to the present time the point of irrecon-
cilable difference between the Democratic
party and all its adversaries has been as to the
nature and extent of the federal powers. The
principle of local sef-government is the vital
part Of Democracy"
Of course this fine old Democratic state
ment elected a round Of applause It always
does from a Democratic audience, and the
| they applaud, just as the Democratic Sena-
tors in our Legislature applauded most heart
lily that part of Green Smiths farewell address
in which he said he had been fighting during
the entire session for the Constitution and
the laws.
Is it true, as Mr. Carlisle said, that from the
beginning of the government "the irreconcila-
able point Of difference between the Demo
cratic party and all its adversaries has been as
to the nature and extent of the federal powers?'
He intended to imply that the Democratic
| party had always stood for the rights of the
| people and all its adversaries against them.
That may do for an after-diu address be-
| fore q Democratic club, but it is not true.
| For the purposes of Democratic consumption,
it is probably none the worse Cor being false,
but as truth goes it does make difference
| The Democratic party has pretended to be
the party Of the people and to stand for their
rights, but 1t has not been nor done so. The
difference between Mr.. Carlisle's statement
and the truth is just the difference between
pretending to be and being. The Democratic
| party has always been the party of the people
| in name and in claim. but no further. ETY.
mologically and nomin ally it has been, really
and actually it has cot been. A party of the
| people must be party of universal liberty,
human rights and equal and exact justice to
| all men. This the Democratic party never
has been. 1t has, indeed, contended for State
rights, but only in order to protect and extend
human slavery or some other wrong. 1t has
opposed the exercise of federal power, but
always when it was proposed to exercise it in
the interest of liberty or justice. 1t has in
sisted on strict construction of the Consti-

tuition where it could be construed in the In
nullify it. No party in this country has ever
proposed to extend the federal power except
in the interest of good government or for the
protection Of civil rights. The Democratic
party has always opposed such exercise of
power, on the ground that it interfered with
gersonal rights. The Democratic idea of per-
sonal rights is the right to raise the devil.
Mr.. Carlisle says s'the principle Of local
self-government is the vital part of Democ-
racy.' This is not true. The vital part of
Democracy is the principle Of local tyranny.
The stronger Democracy is anywhere the less
local self-government there is. There is more
and purer local self-government to-day in
Massachusetts, than in any other State of the
Union, yet it has never been Democratic
State. There is more local self-government
il any Republican State of the Union to-day
than there is in any Democratic State.
About the only surviving relics of royal pre-
South, and, in connection with what remains
of slavery, they are an insuperable obstacle
to the establishment of true local self-govern-
ment. Contrast Kentucky, Mr. Carlisle's
State, with Massachusetts,. Contrast any
Democratic State of the South with
any Republican State of the North, OF any
Northern city controlled by Democrats with
any Northern city controlled by Republicans

Contrast the late Legislature of Indiana with
that of any decided Republican State and
